Hello, I installed LinuxMint 17 with Cinnamon? and don't have sound from dynamics.I have Windows on the same computer, and there everything is OK, so the hardware is good.I see the sound symbol on the right, low corner and after click, it opened sound applet and settings.There I can see "Play sound through Analog Output Built-in Audio" with output volume about 100%."Test Sound" does nothing hear.

How to record sound with sound-recorders (mhwave, audacity, QARecord)? Asus board here.As great as Mint 13 LTS was in this respect, so chaotic Mint 17 Qiana LTS looks here now.(I already saw this in Xubuntu 14.04 and now in Mint too...) I'm very curious if anybody else has noticed this? Streaming and recording have become very important these days.

With Pulseaudio:When a device is recording (for instance Audacity) one can see that in the recording tab in pulseaudio-volume-control. There is also a monitor-switch and that has to be in the right position. It was not right after install here. Who knows? (And then the right settings of course for input and output on Audacity, mhWavedit etc.. A pitty that a simple thing like QaRecord does not work anymore. Maybe Alsa is not working? I couldn't find out.) So understanding sound and the trajectum?? No. I never did all those linux-years.

Same issue here with my old Stone laptop.This too uses an Intel card.This lapdog used Win XP till yesterday and the audio was fine.Just put Mint 17 xfce 32bit on and no audio. Same message as posted earlierwhen using lshw.Just tried live Mint 16 and that's just the same.The sound bars go up and down with the tune in the mixer when using Banshee and also an external Creative usb sound card/ headphones work.

Sound can be a drag, we know. I throw one:When you use pulse:Pavucontrol output devices-tab speaker on? Analog output / All outputdevices?In the tab configuration: built in audio: analog stereo duplex?

I had the same problem with my m-audio soundcard, the mixer next to the clock showed everything at 100% but I still heard nothing. Then I remembered alsamixer, I opened a terminal, launched alsamixer and it turned out the volume was set to zero there. I turned up the output for my soundcard and everything is working great now. Perhaps that could help some of the other posters?
